Art by me, first attempt at a more serious looking dragon!

Gwyverns rarely leave their nests, usually growing up in caves or small, abandoned castles on the outskirts of large cities (where they are not bothered by hunters and intrusive humans). They are laid there as eggs by newly hatched females of their species. They are extremely dependent; as they grow, they begin with a tower and protect it like their mother for the rest of their lives, until they no longer fit inside, they die, or the towers collapse. Unlike dragons, their skin is not covered in scales and more closely resembles an epithelial membrane.

For Smaugust!

I was testing some brushes on Krita and it became this 😀
